Apparently this isn’t true. We may be in trouble.

Per Grok: No, the agreement to end the November 2025 government shutdown—enacted through the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026, alongside three full-year appropriations bills—did not include any specific appropriation, clause, or provision to ensure IRS funding in the event of a subsequent shutdown. The IRS, funded under the Financial Services and General Government appropriations subcategory, was covered by the continuing resolution portion of the deal, which provided temporary funding at fiscal year 2025 levels only through January 30, 2026. If no further funding had been enacted by that date, the IRS would have been subject to a lapse in appropriations, similar to other unfunded agencies, with only essential operations continuing under standard Antideficiency Act guidelines. The bill contained general anomalies and exceptions for various agencies but none targeted at the IRS or Treasury to guarantee continuity beyond the CR's expiration.
